in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! I have been fiddling with MFP for about two months, but really only got strict with it about three weeks ago. I have lost 18 pounds and am looking forward to losing quite a bit more. I am doing MFP with my sisters, but they are my beloved skinny-me's, and am hoping to find more people in a similar situation. I am stay-at-home mom of two, 116 pounds to go. Thanks!

    Hi! I'm Christy, and I am also new to the site (joined about a week ago) and need to lose at least 150 pounds. I need all the encouragement I can get because I have struggled with my weight my entire life.

    You are doing awesome - 18 pounds is great!

    I really enjoy using the MFP on my iPhone - it really helps keep my accountable!

    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Welcome to MFP!

    Been here about a month now. In total, have lost 38lbs out of 103 to get to my initial goal weight of 160.

    It's a lot of hard work, but feels so good when you starting noticing the smaller you. Add me if you want, I can use all the encouragement and support I can get!

    Hi there! Welcome to MFP - I've found it a completely NECESSARY tool in the journey to weight loss. I started out around 314lbs with a goal of 150 (135 as an ultimate) - Which is 167lbs total plus some I'd like to lose!... Scary number, but check this out!

    I've managed to lose with education (THE MOST IMPORTANT), exercise and effort; a total of 107lbs of it! I have 60 more to go and I've never been happier. Feel free to add me for motivation. I'm a 28 year old mother of two under the age of 3, btw :)

    Hi, I'm Kim. Welcome to MFP! I started MFP last year and lost about 40 lbs on it. Then right before Thanksgiving both my husband and I (Who work at the same place) had our teams disbanded and are now making only about 10-20 hours a month. We are both looking for new jobs but the market is so tough right now we are finding NOTHING. I started to stress out and it got really bad and I just kind of plummeted off the wagon. I've been struggling to get back on but the stressors are still there and so I have started over! And right now I need all the help I can get!! So feel free to add me!!

    I am restarting MFP too...(came back about 3 weeks ago)...used it last year with good results...and a 40 pound loss. Grad school stress took its toll on me in the Fall and Spring...so I fell backwards a lot. Happy to be back! Feel free to add me...I need all encouragement and motivation I can get... :) HUGS!

    Hi I'm in search of some friends to help keep me motivated while hoping to do the same for you! I have around 100 lbs to loose and I refuse to give up. I have a one year old to think about and my husband and I have been talking about having baby number 2 in about another year or so.
